Reviews & Ratings for Trijicon HD XR Night Sight Set — 182 reviews — Page 1

I have these on other guns and love them. They are bright and large enough that I pick them up immediately and don't loose theme in the middle of a stage of competition.

I recently bought and tried Trijicon HD XR night sights, and my experience has been mixed.

On the positive side, the sights are very well built. The all-metal construction feels extremely sturdy and durable, and they definitely seem like they can handle long-term use. I also really like the narrow front sight—it’s a nice feature that helps with precision aiming compared to wider front posts.

Installation, however, was a challenge. The rear sight was extremely tight in the Glock 43X dovetail. It required a lot of force to install, and honestly, I’m concerned that removing it in the future could damage the slide. That level of tightness might be a plus for some people, but it felt excessive in my case.

Performance-wise, the sights are excellent in two extremes: bright, direct sunlight and complete darkness. In those conditions, they do exactly what they’re supposed to do. The tritium is clear at night, and the front sight stands out well in full sun.

Where they fall short for me is in transitional lighting. In shaded areas or under cloud cover, I had trouble clearly picking up the front sight. Even under a covered shooting area, the bright yellow front didn’t stand out the way I expected. It just didn’t “pop” to my eyes in those conditions, which made target acquisition slower.

This could be a personal visibility issue, but for me, it limits their effectiveness. Because of that, I’m not entirely impressed overall. They work great sometimes, but not consistently enough to j...

This is the third set of Trijicon sights I’ve put on my handguns and I am sold on their effectiveness in low light situations.

Purchased these night sights for both of my Glocks. I have been a Trijicon fan for my Glock handguns 17 and 19 since the early generations of this handgun and they do not disappoint.in their performance. This newest version XL HD with the fluorescent Orange outline around the front green tritium green sight makes target acquisition much quicker and more confident. The sight picture with the thinner front post sight is far superior to the standard Glock iron sights. This feature allows for a closer shot grouping either at the range or in a personal defense situation. Had mine installed by a gunsmith which I highly recommend.

I have these on all my GLOCKS MADE TO MILATARY STANDARDS

Best sights for any gun. If they don’t make the hd’s or the hd-xr’s for your gun grab a set of Ameriglo Trooper’s. Ameriglo is the sister company of trijicon and they told me it’s the basically the same sight

Fit was excellent and sights are great in low to no light conditions so much easier to see then stock sights

Sights were as advertised and were shipped in reasonable time.

I bought this one for my G19 MOS, but it sticks back out side of the slide. The Glock 19 MOS sight cut is more to the back side than the stander Glock 19

I've had Trijicon HD sights on a handful of pistols in the past all of which are still going strong. However Trijicon quality seems to have gone way downhill with this most current sight set I bought. Having a tritium sight die after only 3 months is just not acceptable. I mean it's not even glowing at all it's just completely dead. The rear sight is still fine but now I don't trust that one will last either. I'll be swapping these out for something else. It's hard to want to pay the premium for the Trijicon name if this is the quality you get. They've gotten the last of my money.
